1.8T MPG

What sort of mpg do the 1.8T drivers on here average. since i've bought the car i seem to average 30-31mpg seems pretty bad, or is that normal? I'm hardly ever in traffic, and mostly driving 40-60mph roads. cheers

If this is the case and you really are doing a steady 40-60 without stop starting a lot I'd expect more as I'd get higher than that in my S3, mine seems to get the best fuel economy at about 40-50mph. My average of about half nutty driving and half motorway driving gets me 27.7mpg according to the DIS.

Well that clears things up, it's not as bad as i thought. When first got the car for the first week i averaged 33 mpg, but now with occational bursts of agressive speed, i average 30-31 mpg. My trips are 11 mile each way, and like is said mostly 40-60 mph. Seems what i get is about right then. cheers for the replies.

I was averaging around 32mpg in my 1.8T Quattro but following remap this has dropped to the very low 20s. Loving the car but not the fuel consumption so I'd say if this is a concern to you, don't go for the remap.

have you seriously changed your driving style since the remap? If not, i'd get the high fuel consumption investigated.

Not at all - if anything my normal driving style is less aggresive! Even when i try and minimise consumption (ie driving at 60mph) i get a max of around 25/26 - but when combined with stop/start and the odd foot down moment it goes down to around 20. It's not the DIS - I've done brim to brim measurements.
This literally happened as I drove out of AMD after the remap. I've been back since and had a new DV fitted but nothing's changed. Although I'm on the long life service i'm gonna opt back into annual/every 10k so will be getting it serviced soon.

I'm not too technical but could it be something as simple as a Spark plug gone wrong? Would this show up on VAGCOM - AMD did a full test when i went back and it showed nothing was wrong...???!!!
